English Turn Golf & Country Club
About
English Turn Golf & Country Club is a Jack Nicklaus design that was crafted in 1988 to host the New Orleans PGA Tour event. Nicklaus designed the course to be enjoyed equally by spectators and golfers, incorporating gallery berms and spectator mounds throughout. This challenging design is known for its undulating greens that will test even the most seasoned players. Each hole has a unique design that combines strategically placed bunkers, including large waste bunkers, and sloping grass swales. There is also carefully sculpted mounding along the edges of the fairways. On top of that, water comes into play on nearly every hole. English Turn's signature hole, the 15th, is a tricky par 5 with an island green but it's the final hole, a par 4 with water all along the left side, that is rumored to be the golf course's toughest.

Very challenging course
It was tough for 1st time playing and score card didn't show layout of the holes but it was frustrating and enjoyable as most golfers know all about
English Turn
The course was in great condition, Tee to Green. I really enjoyed the overall experience and will return.
Top 3 course in Greater New Orelans
This course is and excellent course. It has everything you need to challenge your golf skills. It is a former PGA venue course meticulously maintained. The professionalism of the staff is second to none. There are no downsides to this course. A must if you want to treat yourself to an awesome golf experience in New Orleans.
Save you money
I played as a guest for $40 on a GolfNow deal that was spur of the moment. I played solo and was supposed to pair up with a 2some but it never happened so they sent me out solo. No big deal. Until I came up on a group of SEVEN members playing at once. They are members, I get it, these games are common. But nother once in 3 holes did they ask if I would like to play thru. They just continued to play and look at me while I waited for 20 minutes each shot. I finally got fed up and left on my 3rd shot into #11. If this is how members treat their guests, I can see why the course has gone WAY downhill. The course layout is OK and the practice range is nice. But the greens are overgrown where they aren't burned out and the roll snakes every putt. The only positive out of my trip was the starter. He was great. I played for 60% off so that means theyou charge over 100 bucks to play that course. If you asked me, I wouldn't even pay $40 to play English Turn again. I'm a 3 handicap and was actually looking for a club to join now that I'm back in NOLA. It WILL NOT BE English Turn. Do yourself a favor and take your money to Lakewood. Better course and you won't have to wait on a 7some of members that won't let you play through.
Best course I played in NOLA but...
This was by far the nicest course I played living in New Orleans for a year; however, for the expense of the course (typically around $100) I expect to not have patchy dirt covered greens. The fairways and bunkers were well kept but putting was difficult because of the dirt patches.
Great course
We actually played the course twice. The track was in great shape with a nice layout. There was water on a number of holes, but it didn't come into play unless you hooked/sliced your shot. I'd play again if I had the chance.
Best Alternative to TPC Louisiana
This is the former home of the PGA event in New Orleans so it has to be good and challenging. Played early with a very nice guy from Brooklyn. No one in front or behind and played in just over 3 hours without rushing. Course was damp from recent rains and played long - go to the whites unless you are a bomber. Smallest greens I have ever played on and they were slow and a little bumpy due to an infestation of some kind. Difficult bunkers - small and slit-like. Highly recommended. Good value.
Probably the most challenging layout in the Nola area...
And therefore the most fun/entertaining in my opinion.
Friendly staff and great layout, but
overpriced at a guest fee/daily rate of $100.
All the staff (club house, golf shop, starter, cart return) and members were very friendly and helpful.
The course layout and flow is great, but unfortunately, the greens were in terrible shape and fairways in some places are in need of some TLC.
Our pace of play was negatively impacted by a fivesome that had teed off a few groups ahead of us. They did leave other groups play through, but somehow when me and my playing partner caught up with them, they never invited our twosome to play through. We ended up skipping a par 3 to by pass the group and then the pace of play was perfect... .
If you can play the course at a lower rate, I would recommend it to play it for the layout and be prepared for some rough putting greens. Otherwise, I would consider spending my money somewhere else.
Fun and challenging
This is a real fun course to play. Long game challenge is worth the swing. Go play it!!!
Love it! Great layout to play.
Very happy every time I play there it's great place.
Lucky Find
Last minute decision but when I arrived at the course an hour early the Pro Shop's friendly gentleman offered to let me go out early as a single if I chose to. I ended up practicing a little, they have a beautiful practice area.
I asked the Starter to pair me up if possible and he went out of his way to see that I would not play alone as there were some foursome ahead of me.
Overall a great day...
First Time Treat
This was the first time playing English Turn. Considering all of the rain we have had recently, the course was in fantastic condition. The weather was fantastic, the course was challenging but not impossible, the staff was very friendly. Could not beat the deal we got on golfnow. I will play here as often as possible.
A Gem
This is a great course in New Orleans. A higher cost than most, but a great course.
This course made my favorites list
Had a great time at this course. Lots of bunkers! Almost all of the holes have water hazards. Wide open fairways are just begging you to birdie or par; long par 3s & 4s though. The chicken sandwich & chips were very good.
Good Golf Experience, but..
I got on this course with a GolfNow HotDeal, but I see that typically it's $125 to play. in my opinion, this course is a long way from being anything special enough to merit that type of green fee. It's a good course, but there's nothing special about it. Greens were slow and flat. Just aim and putt. The course is short overall as well, the wind determines the difficulty.
I'd suggest playing, but seems like there are other options for that kind of money that are more worthwhile
Not a good experience!!
No one at the bag drop to help with clubs. No hello are how are you frm the pro shop, and no mention of the greens under repair I know there are times when golf courses need work I understand but I wish they did a better job of communicating to the golfers. I would like to say after the round cart attendant did a great job!!
Course in great condition
Course in great condition staff was friendly. Would recommend it to friends. Pace of play was average.
Gem of New Orleans
The course was in great shape. Greens are fast & true. Stuck behind a slow foursome, but I was playing with a member who jumped the group for a hole & picked up the missed hole later. Don't miss this course.
Excellent condition
The course was in excellent condition, and we played at a good rate. Well worth it.
Thank you very much- We hope to see you again soon!
